I don't think PF wanted to be the murder, I think KKL did or someone else who's not been named yet that he solicited. I believe that's why he called KKL with the "mess to come clean up." Because she was the one who was supposed to have carried it out and was her idea from the get go. I think she's just as evil and I hope the Judge finds Aggravating circumstances to give her the max sentence with the time comes.
SABBM:
I agree with you that PF wanted someone else to do his dirty work for him.
He's an emotional toddler, and is used to women catering to his needs.
The reason PF called KK and told her she "had a mess to clean up" is because that's what the women in his life have been doing for him since day 1.
He ran out of Wet Wipes, so he dialed 1-800-Side-Piece.
I do not think that KK wanted to be the murderer.
Had she wanted to be the one to kill KB, PF certainly provided KK with multiple opportunities to do the deed.
Each time he solicited her to do so, she could not bring herself to commit the murder.
These were PF's solicitations, not KKs.
The DA, Dan May, is not a stupid man.
The DA is clearly satisfied based on the evidence that PF is the primary bad actor and that he is the one who both solicited and carried out KB's murder.
He would not have bargained with KK if there was one shred of evidence that she was the evil "mastermind" behind KB's murder.
I don't agree that there is equivalency between KK's actions and PF's actions, i.e., that she is "just as evil" as PF for this reason:
When the moment actually arrived, KK found herself unable to carry out the murder.
She could not bring herself to wield the bat at KB.
PF had no such difficulty.
PF swung the bat without compunction or restraint.
Repeatedly.
He took batting practice at KB's head.
Knocking her teeth out.
Splattering her blood against walls, floor, ceiling, fireplace, etc.
KK cleaned up the blood that PF shed.
So in that respect, KB's blood is literally on her hands as well.
She's evil. He's evil. They're both evil.
But PF is the one who solicited her murder multiple times.
PF is the one who drained KB's life's blood from her body.
To paraphrase another poster (I think it was MassGuy) who originally said:
Take KK out of the equation entirely, and KB is still dead.
Take PF out of the equation entirely, and KB would still be alive.
I think that's absolutely true.
